Leadership and Development Teams:

TADBiT is directed by a Leadership team composed of intensively trained* DBT clinicians. The Leadership Team makes decisions by consensus, meaning “We probe issues until everyone’s opinions are understood, especially opposing opinions. The decision is only made when everyone in the group says that they can live with that decision.” (The Collaboration Handbook, Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, 1997)

*Intensively trained DBT clinicians have completed the 65 hour training over 6 months, with trainers authorized by Marsha Linehan, as a team with many additional hours in study, program development and presentation to acquire, strengthen and generalize the DBT skills and strategies. Post-docs and graduate interns in DBT training programs are equivalent.
